Business Highwaymen.

There appears 20 be very interest
ing wheat corner progressing in Chi
cago. 1t differs somewhat from ordi-
nary operations of the kind, and brings
into fine relief the peculiariteS of what
many people describe rs business. :"
When grain to be delivered in the flu
ture is bought on the Board of Trade
in that city the contract is that it sh all
be placed in some one of certain desig-
mated warehouses called elevators The
men of business who are managing
the present reported corner have
bought millions upon millions of
bushels OF wheat to be delivered to them
in these elevators by the first of May,
and in the mean time have themselves
filled all the available bins so that no
more grain can be crowded into them.
Only the wheat that is now in the
bins. though there may be billions of
bushels Just outside, can be used to full
fill the contracts. Wheat in M.lwau-
kee, less than hundred miles away.
can be bought for about five cents Il
bushel less than the Chicago price. An
effort was made to transfer vessel
load of it, the other day, from one
place to the other, but it could not be
received. The sellers can only get the
wheat to deliver by buying it of the
men they have sold it to. though the
country, so to speak, is full of it
This is much more eflective way OF
running n corner than an attempt TO
buy up all the wheat in the country.
Those making the latter effort have
often come to grief. The field is too
large to be taken care of comfortably.
Fortunately there are rules on the Chi
cago Board which limit the number of
cents per bushel above prices elsewhere
TO which this highway robbery can be
carried. but il is none the less highway
robbery. Ii is essentially rascally even
from a gambling standpoint, being
nothing more or less than an equivalent
TO stacking" the cards. The only re-
deeming consideration in the connec-
ton is that generally the victim would
do the same thing himself il he had tho
chance. --NcU iOrs World
